The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the experiences of over 250 German rabbis and scholars who fled to the U.S. after the Nazi rise to power, this book explores their profound impact on American Judaism and Jewish life in the postwar era. The younger members of this group, in particular, contributed significantly to both intellectual and community leadership. As they rebuilt their lives, they faced the emotional challenges of reconciling their past with the realities of a divided Germany. Meticulously researched, it highlights their trials and the legacy they established in America.
